Stephen Simmons set up this family run business 14 years ago after spending 10 years
in Civil Service delivering IT solutions and training. He believes PCs are an investment
and whether it is for home or business, they must provide a return on your investment.
This could be anything from saving you time to allowing you to stay in contact with
people in real time from around the world.

Alternative Computers and Training (AltCT) have clients who have been with them for
years and come for one off consultation. They have done things from databases for
travel companies, websites for a childrens riding Stables to training an 86 year
old to use Skype and email so she could still keep in regular contact with her children
and grandchildren.

So Why AltCT?

Many people Pick up useful tips from “Whizz Kids” or copy ideas already in use by
colleagues. Small businesses, sole traders and home users often don’t get these “learning
opportunities”. Because of this they quickly become frustrated, disillusioned and
often “give up” thinking they are not able to use their expensive PC at all!

AltCT offer the following

One to One or small group training sessions NEW USERS (including the fast growing
numbers of retired people) are Welcome.

Training tailored to individual needs & speeds

Training exercises based on trainees needs and or interests (to provide useful learning)

Advice on purchasing IT equipment etc. Need a new Printer PC Digital Camera and want
some help choosing?

Software design service. Many users of PC’s are quite able & skilled but do not have
the time, inclination or specialist experience to design tools to manage their business.
Following a consultation, a custom product is written that meets YOUR requirements.
“Custom” means just that, the software can be changed as your needs change unlike
“off the shelf” products.
